Fuda Cancer Hospital has always done very well in providing humanistic care for patient.

With the theme of “Life and Death”, this seminar was designed to discuss the value and transformation of life and death and illustrate such concepts as “living with caner”, “cancer is a type of controllable chronic disease” and “death cannot be eliminated but can be delayed”.

During the seminar, several videos were played, including “Love Give Me a New Life”, “Help” by Pearl River Channel and “A Fairy Tale across Thousands of Miles” by CCTV. These videos told several patients’ stories about their fight against cancer, living with cancer and gaining a new life in Fuda Cancer Hospital.

Peng Ximei and Gurli talked about their feeling with presented guests on the stage.

Ximei said emotionally, “FUDA saved my life in 2009. I would like to commit myself, like President Xu, to being a good person and doing good deeds for the rest of my life. I would like to share my experience with those cancer patients on the verge of death to encourage them to live on with confidence and courage”. Gurli said, “FUDA give me the opportunity to gain a new life. FUDA is my second home. Coming back to FUDA for CIC has become an annual event”.

Prof. Li Chaolong, the honorary President, chief expert in surgery of Fuda Cancer Hospital and the founder of Modern China Medicine, discussed about what doctor should do when patient is on the verge of death with the example whether one should save people from drowning.

Different from other conventional ablation technologies, Nanoknife therapy could ablate tumor close to big vessels, nerves and important organs. It will induce cell apoptosis by inflicting irreversible damage to tumor cell so as to promote the regeneration and repair of normal tissue. Guangzhou Fuda Cancer Hospital is the first in mainland of China to have introduced this technology and have successfully carried out Nanoknife treatment for pancreatic and liver cancer patients.
